I've now got a VM managed by DSA to handle the processing of Emdebian packages using blavet.debian.org and I'm liaising with ftp-master to sort out the GnuPG key to sign uploads. I've already included support for armhf inside the Emdebian scripts, so that will update alongside the other architectures. The full list is now: i386, amd64, armel, armhf, mips, mipsel, powerpc. Emdebian is not proposing to support contrib or non-free nor BSD kernels. The current Lenny and Squeeze releases should stay unchanged, moving Emdebian Grip from 2.0.2 (based on Squeeze 6.0.2) to Emdebian Wheezy-Grip 7.0. I've also investigated CD builds and Steve's happy to provide them once wheezy-grip is in a usable state. My current plan is: 0: Continue development with help from ftp-master and DSA to get the final bugs out of the scripts. 1: Process packages on blavet and dput the resulting .changes files to www.emdebian.org and ensure the processing can keep in sync with the main archive. 2: Decide how to populate the new suites. I am currently working on bringing sid-grip into sync with the main archive and I'd like that set of packages to be sync'd to Debian to initialise sid-grip and (if you want to do it this way) wheezy-grip. Alternatively, create wheezy-grip in a similar manner to how armhf will do it, but this will be for seven architectures, not one - albeit with < 3,000 packages each. 3: Switch over to using dput to ftp-master sometime around the New Year. Convert www.emdebian.org to be a mirror of the Emdebian suites. At some point, I'll contact the www team to sort out support in packages.d.o and qa.d.o. How does this sound to you? -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
